It's my day for Creatin' in the Sticks All About Strings Blog hop!
I have a few jelly rolls sitting around that definitely need some ideas for using and
I'm hoping this hop is going to be a big help in finding ways to use some of them!
There are a few in my stash that have been there a long, long time, but the one I used
for this hop isn't too old. The white jelly roll strips has been there a few years.
I used my "strings" to make a quilt as you go project.
I used only fabric from my stash on this one and put some minky fabric on the back.
My youngest daughter snatched it right up! I'm sure there will be a few Monkey Boys
snuggled up in it with her. It's 54" x 54" which is a nice size for cuddling those boys.
When I looked around for string quilt ideas, I found a quilt-as-you-go method on
Upstairs Hobby Room. It was easy and quick to make the 20 blocks. Once I'd sewn the
strips in place, I trimmed each block to 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" squares. The blocks were
then sewn in rows of four across and four down. Each border was two strips of 4" x 36 1/2"
and one strip of 2 1/2" x 36 1/2", with a square sewn on both ends of two of those strips
Monkey Boy feet!
He was an awesome helper.
Check out all the other "Strings" happening this week!
